BOLES - two foreign words used extensively in backwoods Alabama and Mississippi to describe others, not because the people are particularly multi-lingual, but because the words are onomatopoeic and therefore self-explanatory i.e.

ETYMOLOGY: After Ananias, who along with his wife Sapphira, was struck dead for lying. They sold a piece of land. Instead of giving away all of the proceeds from the sale, they kept a portion for themselves, to the displeasure of Peter. Earliest documented use: 1876.

ETYMOLOGY: In the Old Testament, Solomon, a king of Israel, was known for his wisdom. According to one story, he identified the real mother of a baby by suggesting to the two quarreling women that the child be cut into two and shared between them. The real mother agreed to give up the child instead, and was proclaimed as the true mother. Earliest documented use: 1554.________________________________________________

SOLOMOM - a single mom who foolishly believes that female influence is all her child needs to morph into becoming a complete human adult.
